You walk into a full-service butchers shop, and order one pound of smoked whitefish. You are glad you live in the land of plenty.
"Right away" the butcher says. He leaves and a few minutes later he comes back, he is holding a four ounce can of Alpo dog food. Odd, you think.
The butcher proceeds to spread out a sheet of butcher paper, open the can of Alpo, bang the contents out onto the paper, and then weigh it. One pound, he announces.
You laugh to yourself, you wonder who he thinks he is fooling, but you ordered smoked whitefish, not Alpo, so you don't much care.
The butcher wraps up the Alpo, slaps it down in front of you, and says, "That will be $5000."
"Who! Me?" You say... you look around, you are the only one there. Is this a joke? Where is the audience... are there secret cameras? The butcher is getting impatient. "That will be $5000." He is serious!
No way, but, where do you start? It ain't smoked whitefish, it ain't a pound, and it isn't gonna be $5000. Wrong content, wrong measurement, wrong price.
So you start with "I saw you put Alpo on that paper. I ordered smoked whitefish."
"You telling me I don't know the difference, I don't know my job? I am am a licensed butcher, with 25 years experience...."
You cut him off, "OK, that was four ounces, not a pound..." Now you just want to leave.
"These scales are tested by the authorities on a regular basis, they are never found off... you saying there is something wrong with the people who maintain the standards?"
"OK... since when is "smoked whitefish" $5000 a pound?" you say.
"You want to cut corners when it comes to quality food for your family?" he replies.
You are done being insulted, and you turn to leave. But wait, you just recalled there are no alternatives. This is the only butcher shop allowed. It has no competition. If you want smoked whitefish, this is what you get. You walk out.
"You don't like the free market?" shouts the butcher in all seriousness as you leave.

That's where we are now in USA. You can just walk away if you don't like it, and go without.
Next, you'll be required to buy the smoked whitefish, or you'll be charged more than the $5000 for four ounces of Alpo now being called smoked whitefish. Some things are closer to this today, other things farther, but it is where we are going.
Daniel 4:17
What do you care how your particular punishment comes once you decide you prefer to be ruled by the basest people?
A very powerful position on earth now is head of the IMF. Do you think no one knew this guy while he was "saving the world" was attending orgies on world taxpayers dime. Years ago? And that he was most likely the next president of France? No law against your leaders doing despicable things to new prostitutes, but there is in pimping. So this sounds like a political vendetta, why would a millionaire engage in pimping, when he has a hundred public servants to get what he wants, at taxpayers expense?
In the USA, the higher you are, the baser you are, the safer you are. We just don't do law above a certain point. It is chaos up there, not anarchy.
We all eventually escape to anarchy from the chaos brought upon us by the "basest of men" we literally elect to rule us. Read Daniel.

This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word And demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.
